    There is also a very small piece of Germany on the grounds of the Vatican State: the "Campo Santo Teutonico" has been the final resting place for German pilgrims and others who die in the Eternal City for many centuries.

    Campo Santo Teutonico is a historic cemetery and complex of buildings in Vatican City, next to St. Peter's Basilica. It is the oldest national German institution in Rome and it is reserved for members of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the German Cemetery. The cemetery is located on the site of Nero's Circus in ancient times, where many Christian martyrs were killed. The cemetery has a church, a college, an institute and a library. The cemetery is also a sought-after burial place for many famous people, such as cardinals, diplomats, scholars and artists.

    Hiking

    Death does not have the last word, life does.
    If we pin it on Jesus
    when we allow ourselves to be redeemed by Jesus.
    Death does not have the last word
    but faith in the resurrection.
    When, like Jesus, we place our lives in the hands of God.
    Death does not have the last word, but love.
    If we allow them to be given to us by God.
